Research Notes
- Field pass 2026-10-13: Further OHB and Hickory searches did not resolve the brewery expansion or identify an exact Imperial Stout source. Event Horizon and Lindley Park are separately named beers and were excluded; ABV, IBU, hops and beer url remain empty.
- The first pass expanded the brewery name to Oak Highlands Brewery, whose site places it in Richardson, Texas. That expansion is not supported by the official results and has been removed; the assigned filename is retained.
- The session's web search budget ran out before Untappd, press or a Hickory brewery could be searched.
- No 2026 medal announcement was found.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Second pass 2026-10-13: The official winners page names OHB, not Oak Highlands Brewery. Olde Hickory's awards history lists an Imperial Stout, but the fetched page does not connect it to this 2026 entry. The brewery expansion remains unresolved, so no candidate brewery specifications or URL were transferred.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: no brewery website is on file; no new source was found.
